Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Check out the latest NFL injury news and notes around fantasy football.
Alvin Kamara (hip/rib) officially a non-participant Wednesday
Alvin Kamara (hip/rib) was officially a non-participant at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Kamara is dealing with new injuries to his hip and rib that left him sidelined at Wednesday’s practice. It’s unclear how serious these issues are for him, and the team is likely taking his recovery day-to-day for the time being. Fantasy managers should monitor this situation, and if he’s unable to play in Week 4, that would mean more work for Jamaal Williams against the Falcons.

Jonathon Brooks (knee) nearing return to play
Jonathon Brooks (knee) is in the ‘final stages’ of returning to play, according to HC Dave Canales.
Fantasy Impact
Brooks has been on the NFI list for the entire season so far. He has been recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in his last year of college, but according to HC Dave Canales, the rookie is in the ‘final stages’ of his return to play, which means that we may see him on the field sooner rather than later. He was a highly touted prospect coming out of college and could be a strong fantasy contributor when he takes the field, especially if Carolina’s offense can continue to play at a respectable level.

Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) could return to practice as soon as next week.
Fantasy Impact
Head coach Kevin O’Connell stated that he “will continue to defer to the medical staff” and that Hockenson is doing great. The Vikings are able to open his 21-day practice window after Week 4.
